What began as a traffic stop for speeding in the Dogwood subdivison this morning ended up as a three-hour manhunt and arrest of the passenger who had fled from Bossier deputies during the stop.

A Bossier Sheriff's Office deputy initiated a traffic stop near the tennis courts on Dogwood Trail in the Haughton neighborhood around 8:30 a.m. today. The passenger in the vehicle, Marcus Harper, 36, of 2200 Shed Road in Bossier City, decided to flee the scene while the deputy was talking with the driver. He jumped a fence in Dogwood South, jumped another fence and was soon out of the deputy's sight.
